At the Bauers'
Michelle tells Meta that she has deep feelings for Danny. Meta asks her about Jesse and Michelle said she cares about him but know she doesn't know. She told her that when she heard Danny profess his love for her she felt special. Michelle said she wants to go to Millennium to explain to Danny, Meta said she didn't think he would believe her. Meta stopped her from leaving and told her that Danny was raised to be ruthless and just like his family. She told her to forget about Danny for tonight and tomorrow if she wanted, she could talk to him. Michelle calls Drew and tells her that she confessed to Danny.

Michelle is asleep at the table dreaming about Danny coming by. They were kissing and she told him she wanted him, he said it wasn't going to happen and then he pulled a gun on her. She woke up and heard a knock at the door. It was Danny.

At Drew's Apartment:
Drew heard Jesse at the door. She begged Danny not to tell him that they had slept together. She said she loves Jesse and he would hate her if he knew. Jesse unlocked the door and started to come in. Drew had the chain on and she told him she was dressing. She closed the door and told him to wait a sec. Danny hid in the bathroom. Drew let Jesse in. Jesse apologized for proving the adoption viable and hurting her. He said he was worried because the bartender said she had left with a guy after drinking a lot. He turned and noticed a wallet on the floor. He said 'you aren't alone are you'? Drew grabbed the wallet and said it could be anyone's wallet. She told Jesse that the guy was there and they had a few drinks and that was it. Jesse didn't believe her. She told him she was sorry. Danny comes out and talks with Drew. He says he thinks Jesse cares for her a great deal. He tries to comfort Drew and says that he wont tell anyone what happened. He left. Leaving his wallet.

Selena tells Drew to open up. She tells her that she saw Danny leave and that she may as well have slept with a loaded gun.

At Millennium:
Selena questions the bartender about Drew's whereabouts. Where she went, who she left with. He had no answers. When Jesse comes downstairs he tells Selena what happened.
She went up to check on Drew. Selena sees Danny coming down from Drew's.

Matt comes and asks Bill for his help tracking down where his mother had signed on the computer at. Bill said he would help him.

At Holly's Trial:
Fletcher arrived with Ross and told the Judge that he was to blame for Holly's rapid spiral to lunacy. Holly faints, Fletcher gets her to come around and tells her that he will stand by her through this mess. Holly tells the judge that she wants to proceed with the hearing.
Cassie, Buzz, Reva, Harley and Blake stood up for Holly and told the judge that she was just trying to give the children a better life. Ben arrived and asked to be heard. The judge let him speak. Ben tells the story of the bottle of the brandy and the poisoning. He then said that he hopes the judge will give Holly a second chance. (Everyone was stunned). The DA tries to get the judge to see that bad things that Holly did. Fletcher tells the Judge that he was the reason these things happened. He tells about how he ran off with Meg. He asked Holly for her forgiveness. He tells the judge that Holly is a wonderful woman and she would never have done these thing if he hadn't have acted like he did. At the Bauer Cabin:

As she gets ready to make a big scene, Josh calms her down and lets her know that he has a plan...A few tables away, Jim meets Beth for their "date."

Convinced that Danny is about to kill her, Michelle tries, rather lamely, to defend herself with a large kitchen knife. Danny reassures her that he is not there to kill her but, in fact, wants to set her free.
